In late 1949 at the end of the school year, Jack Billing's mother accompanied him aged 15 to the Bunbury Police Station. At that young age he was fascinated by the science of fingerprint identification.He wanted to join the Police Force.What followed was a successful career, first in general Police duties, then in the Police Scientific Branch as a photographer, fingerprint technician, questioned document examiner - and along the way a Police diver and member of the Police Bomb Squad.In his 43 year career he built a reputation with colleagues and in the courts for being guided scrupulously by the objective evidence that a scientific approach to criminal investigations revealed - to the frustration of defendants, and at times investigators.He rose to the leadership position of Assistant Commissioner in the Western Australian Police Force, and in the 1989 Australian Honours he was awarded an Australian Police Medal in recognition for his service to policing in the state.This book is his testimony about the often misrepresented but compelling forensic evidence in one of Western Australia's most controversial criminal cases, the 1982 Perth Mint Swindle.

The father of Eric Edgar Cooke despised his baby son from the moment he saw him. Bashings and a hate-filled childhood followed for the boy with the crooked mouth, launching a personality unique among serial killers. He stalked the city of Perth for months, shooting strangers in the dead of night and using a sickening variety of weapons to steal the lives of strangers. Unknown to the terror-stricken citizens of this trusting, emerging metropolis, the young father of seven children who pulled the trigger had for years been doing other sinister night work. In a remarkable twist of fate, the killer's life tangled with that of 19-year-old John Button, whose 17-year-old girlfriend was killed. Both men confessed to that crime. This riveting investigation into the life and untold crimes of the last man to hang in Western Australia reveals new evidence to indicate that at least one innocent man, John Button, went to jail for one of Cooke's murders. Estelle's efforts to clear John Button's name, have led to the West Australian Court of Criminal Appeal re-opening the case against John Button after nearly 35 years. The new edition will include a chapter covering the case and the final decision.

Download The Most Corrupt British Judges Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
On the publication of the first edition of his book, the Most Corrupt British Judges, the Author, a lawyer with over fifty years experience of legal practice, sent copies of it to the Lord Chancellor, and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in London with formal complaints for investigations of the crimes committed by some judges. The office of the Lord Chancellor promised to carry out necessary investigations. When the Author demanded that the investigations comply with the rule of natural justice, or that they treat the complaint as withdrawn, they opted to treat the complaint as withdrawn! On receipt of the complaints, the Commissioner of Metropolitan Police appointed Senior Superintendent Coles, to investigate it. As no investigation took place, the Author made a formal application to the criminal court for a private prosecution of one of the judges, Lord Justice Morrison for the offence of perverting the course of justice. The application was not dealt with by a Magistrate as required by law but by a court clerk who rejected it on the ground that it would create a precedent, where judges would no longer judge without fear. In short, that judges were to be above the law! The author appealed to the High Court which upheld the decision of the clerk and refused to have the case heard on its merit! Though the book was published on the Internet and an affidavit affirming that the accusations in it are true, yet no notice to sue for libel was ever given. Nor was there a criminal prosecution for perjury although at the time, former Minister Jonathan Atkins, and former Chairman of the Conservative Party Lord Jeffrey Archer were prosecuted for perjury in similar circumstances.Failure to prosecute and to sue are admission that the abuse of judicial power complained of took place.

Download Indecent Dealing Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A very personal story of the efforts of a schoolteacher to clear his name after charges were laid following a police campaign called 'Operation Paradox'. On the basis of one photograph obtained in a search of his house, the teacher was charged on three counts of indecent dealing the conviction of which may have put him behind bars. The story clearly documents the events preceding and following the charges, including the involvement of Brian G. Tennant, Human Rights Campaigner, the Western Australian Education Department, friends of the accused, and the media. It is a story which illustrates dramatically the doctrine of innocent until proven guilty. Includes copies of newspaper articles on the events at the time.
